Happy Friday folks, here's this week's blast of PVC. Laggers had to hand in a sick note due to a dodgy tummy so Coop and Miggins played some songs for him. There's a mystery song that we were very surprised Laggers asked for, it's not in the track listing so you'll have to listen. Enjoy the selection and the weekend.

We're back after a skip week where we rocked the Village Green Festival in Southend with a cracking line up of bands interspersed with us spinning some vinyl. A jolly good and sweaty time all round, thanks if you came along.

We've got a right old mix of records for you to enjoy in #97, something for everyone we reckon. If there's nothing ya dig you're in the wrong place!

This Saturday (13th) thee Polyvinyl Craftsmen will be hosting a stage at the Village Green Festival in Chalkwell Park, Southend on Sea. We'll be in the Village Hall which is situated in the Park View Suites.

We are spinning vinyl all day between bands starting at 11.30. Organizers Metal have booked the bands for the earlier part of the day and then from 4.00pm we take over.

The band’s music is so captivating especially the melody in each track. This is a band you must check out if you like retro psychedelic garage rock.( The Musical Junkie).

The sound is reminiscent to the swinging ’60s, with easy comparisons to a heavier and more hallucinogenic version of The Beatles in their early days (Bring the Noise UK).

Their music would work perfectly as a soundtrack to a Quentin Tarantino film, with a laid-back quality that cruised from one song to the next, in a locomotion that emulated the movement of waves. They would be well worth checking out if you’re a fan at all of your quintessential surf rock bands of the 60s or similar new age acts such as The Growlers (SeeSound.co.uk).

Southend-based Wobbly Lamps play trippy garage rock, full of reverb and distortion. They have released two 7” EPs in the last year which have found their way into discerning record boxes around the globe and picked up plenty of airplay across the US and Europe. Their last record was played heavily by Gideon Coe on BBC 6Music who said . "I like this very much, look forward to playing it again! ". Paul Lagden - Guitar, Lee Hall - Guitar, Gareth Thomas – Vox, Zoë Howe – Drums, Derek Pitt – Bass
